Bicentenary of the 1820 Revolution
The Bicentenary of the 1820 Revolution presents both an opportunity and a challenge to revisit and better understand a crucial period in contemporary Portuguese history. The international congress marking this event is designed to indicate the main lines of interpretation that are to be found in the abundant historiography currently existing on this subject, as well as to encourage the presentation of new approaches and perspectives of analysis.

Iberian radical left, revolutionary process and democratic transition – rupture and consensus
Comparative perspectives
An ideological prejudice and a kind of tacit normativity have historically devalued the role played by radical leftists in the transition processes. This colloquium intends to be a contribution to the restoration of this balance.

Amílcar Cabral: The “Anonymous Fighter” for the Mankind Fundamental Freedoms
In 1971, Amílcar Cabral presented himself in the United Nations (UN) as an “anonymous fighter” engaged in the struggle for the fundamental freedoms of the populations of Guinea and Cape Verde, as well as of all mankind. Such affirmation was not casual, since Cabral adopted the status of “anonymous fighter” in other circumstances, arguing that he was struggling for the human dignity, progress and happiness. The main goal of the conference is to bring together academics studying Cabral trajectory, institutions involved in preserving his memory and personalities which became acquainted with him.

Gomes Freire de Andrade: the man and his time
In 2017 we celebrate the bicentennial of three remarkable moments in the history of Portugal, Spain, Brazil and the Ibero-American world, the so-called “Revolution of 1817”, in Pernambuco; the “conspiracy” of General Gomes Freire de Andrade against the British tutelage, in Portugal; and the failed liberal pronouncement of General Luis Lacy y Gauthier, in Catalonia, in favor of the Constitution of 1812. In view of the historical and historiographic importance of these events, the Centre for History of the University of Lisbon (CH-ULisboa), in collaboration with the Directorate of History and Military Culture, is organizing an international conference that aims to contribute to debate the crisis of the Iberian empires in the early nineteenth century and the emergence of liberalism and the politicization of Ibero-American societies.

Aviation - the impact on time and space
L’impact de l’aviation, tant sur le temps que sur l’espace, aux XXe et XXIe siècles, a été remarquable. Depuis les aventures des pionniers, en passant par les premières compagnies aériennes, jusqu’à l’âge du jet et, de nos jours, les opérateurs à bas prix, l’aviation a profondément changé les notions de temps et d’espace. Ce colloque international vise à réfléchir au rôle de l’aviation dans la mutation subie par ces notions, aussi bien qu’aux effets de ce phénomène sur le commerce, la sécurité, la culture et les territoires.

Europe and the Cold War – Changes and Disruptions
5th Annual Meeting “Europe and the World”
Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’Europe est en pleine décadence. Au cours de cette période difficile, la confrontation entre les deux Europes ne cesse de s’accroître. Face à l’expansionnisme soviétique, les pays d’Europe occidentale se tournent vers les États-Unis qui leurs octroient de l’aide économique et de la protection militaire. La reconstruction de l’Europe fait alors l’objet de débats houleux. Sous la pression des mouvements européanistes, les débats prennent de l’élan surtout à partir de 1948 dans le but de rebâtir l’Europe et la paix en Europe. L’atmosphère de « Guerre froide » est très présente depuis 1946.

The diplomatic letter (2): the epistolary genre as an administration tool
La série de journées d’études consacrée à « La Lettre diplomatique » tire son argument de la grande ductilité du genre épistolaire et s’attache à l’étude de la contamination formelle de l’acte diplomatique par la lettre. En effet, si l’acte se justifie par le droit qu’il crée et la lettre par les nouvelles qu’elle donne, la lettre peut aussi transmettre un ordre ou notifier une situation juridique et devenir de ce fait « diplomatique ». Avec cette seconde session, on attend réfléchir à la forte « diplomatisation » de la lettre à partir du Moyen Âge central, en lien notamment avec le redéploiement des artes dictaminis dès le XIe siècle, et à la diversité des emplois du genre épistolaire comme outil administratif.
